While I've not run a Phalla before, I do narrate Werewolves of Millers Hollow a lot in real life.
If anyone were interested, I would think of setting something up with the theme of Paranoia! (Friend-Computer sends his regards).
I feel like a lot of interesting stuff could be done with it. I have done literally nothing for it so far far though, beyond a little brainstorm, but I figured I'd put some feelers out for interest.
I've had a Phallanoia on the back burner for awhile now. We could work together if you'd like (before one of us inevitably betrays the other to gain Friend Computer's favor)
"Go down, kick ass, and set yourselves up as gods, that's our Prime Directive!"
1. Excitement. These mechanics are awesome! This will be my best Phalla yet! Look how fast sign-ups are going! I can't wait to write my first's narration!
2. Trepidation. Wait, is this role text right? Am I distributing it to the right person? I didn't make a mistake, did I? What happens if people don't like it?
3. Terror. This isn't right - what were the orders posted again? How am I going to keep up with all these PMs? What if I get something wrong? What if I counted the vote wrong? What if I kill the wrong person? What if nobody submits orders? What if I read the orders wrong? What if I never stop asking what if questions?
4. Exhaustion. Oh god another PM. One more night, I can do one more night. How is it already 1am? I don't have to be detailed in my narrations, right? I just want to sleep.
5. Acceptance. It's not perfect, but hey, it's a Phalla and it's a game everyone gets to play. We had fun, right?
6. Annoyance. I spent 40 dedicated hours of my life planning and running this game and your feedback is "meh, felt unbalanced"?!
7. Avoidance. Ugh, fuck it, I'm done.
8. Recidivism. You know, it's been a while since I've run a game. It'll be different this time...

Awww, you know he felt super super bad about immediately critiquing the cooking game (which was a VERY FUN game).
I'm not saying they're wrong! It's just tough to accept criticism the moment after completion.
Also, wow, I had almost the exact same comments ending the Five Star Masterchef Phalla as I did at the end of Phallafly. I guess it just takes 3 hours per night to run a Phalla!
And then sometimes narration takes a while because you misclicked on play steam game instead of post narration.
Yeah. I kind of want to run a Darkest Dungeon phalla but I know that'd happen rather often if I did.
You should totally run that phalla just because it'll inspire half of us to play and name our dudes after each other - and I want hear stories about Gizzy going batshit crazy and running away on drinking binges.

I've already got Drawfia and another vaguely 40k-inspired thing on my plate, but I'll bear that in mind.

3. Confusion. This isn't right - why are they trying to vote out the narrator? Holy shit this is not going to end well.
4. Subterfuge. Of course I planned for this contingency, ha ha ha, it was part of the plan all along! Yes. Right.
5. Bewilderment. It says that roleplay fluff is roleplay fluff in the beginning, right? Why are they spending so much time on this shit?
6. Annoyance. WHY THE FUCK HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE DIED TO INACTIVITY?!
7. Sickness. Just the details, I'll post up a real narration later (I won't).
8. Acceptance. Mafia wins! And by the most insane contrivances ever.
9. Frustration. How to I keep making these games if they keep destroying the world?
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Gizzy and ZH were on each others team. I think he died first but I definitely remember that Gizzy died when her whole team got stressed the fuck out by the necromancer's apprentice and died of mass heart attacks. The good news is that the team killed him before being wiped out so its of lesser consequence that they weren't around to celebrate.
I do have a rough idea for a phalla stress/sanity effect mechanic if someone is interested in hosting a game like that.
Edit: I looked it up and it looks like ZH was killed by the wisened hag (you were definitely thrown in the pot too duder. Sorry about that) but we did get our revenge. Auralynx was killed by a swine chopper while blighted.

Bounty Hunter was pretty much my fave prior to the Man-at-Arms release, so that's rad.
I'd be pretty willing to try getting one together, @Bedlam. Had some way-overcomplicated ideas and one cool one today, and was just gonna egregiously steal from @premium and ZH to see how far I got with the rest.
My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

I'm putting together a non Phalla project to run early/mid July. It'll be a large play by post game and I think I'll need some help running it - are there any peeps here who'd be up for helping to host? I'm looking for someone to help run the more conventional military move bits around the board side of it and someone to help run a model UN, PM me if interested.

Pfff...Mill and I spent eight or ten hours just on day 0 for the last phalla we ran.
